Interestingly, the British newspaper have also claimed that Swansea have held further talks with the youngster.

“Swansea, who have appointed James Beattie as assistant to Garry Monk, have held further discussions about a deal for Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, the 20-year-old who is also a target for Newcastle,” states the report. “Anderlecht want £12m to £15m for the Serbia international.”

Mitrovic has shown his potential by scoring in the Belgian domestic league and in Europe, and signing him - at the right price - would be a good move.
